Delicious Pumpkin Cake
Today’s versus was between Hermione and Dumbledore. Each the best witch or wizard of their age! We held 3 votes! Hermione won the first round in a landslide. Dumbledore took round two where voting was done by comments on lincolnhoppe.com/live. Hermione won round three, the speed round. Hermione is victorious again!!!! So in honor of Hermione we made Pumpkin Pastie Cake–a caramelized cake layer on bottom, a pumpkin pie filling and a crumb layer on top. It’s like a cake but a pie, but a cake.
Here’s how you make it:
Bottom Layer
- 1 boxed yellow cake mix (minus 1 cup set aside for topping
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
Filling
- 1 3/4 cup pumpkin
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ginger
Topping
- 1 cup boxed yellow cake mix
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 Tbsp butter softened
Remove 1 cup of yellow cake mix. Set aside for topping. Mix remaining cake mix with 1 egg and 1/2 cup butter. Press into 9×13 inch greased and floured pan. Mix filling ingredients. Pour over cake mixture. Mix topping ingredients until you get a course crumble. Sprinkle over pumpkin filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cake will be golden brown on top and sides with a gooey pumpkin center.
